Description
As this went together, I thought of Escher and how neat it would be to make one of those metamorphosis images he did. In those, the shapes that formed between the birds would be a fish, or something. Then the birds would morph into another animal. Some folks wonder what Escher would have done with a computer. I think he had a very sophisticated one, between his ears.

Made the bird in Amapi, Used a filterized Bryce image for the backdrop scene. World top mode used.

Great idea, and superbly executed.
this is very interesting.. neat idea and execution. excellent stuff. :)
totally cool!
I love Escher's works. They are very complex and very tricky to do with pen and paper, let alone a PC. This is a great looking image. Nice one.
You're really excelling here, Dave! I thought about doing an animation with a very similar effect! Excellent stuff!
Wow, very Escher-esque! Beautiful artwork!
I love Esher, I believe, and could be wrong, but I believe his first piece in in the optical illusion stuff regarding repetitive images was the birds...You have created a very wonderful and very different form of viewer illusion, you see, your birds are taking flight...out of the box and awesomeeeeeeeeeeeee, if I havent told you before, let me say it now.....YOU ROCK THE VISUAL EXPERIENCE....whewww..smile (=
this is one of your best! so creative, what an imagination! bravo
splendid artwork ! the idea is wonderful .. lovely
You've really let your imagination fly with this one! Nice one, Dave!
Occasionally between the NVIATWAS someone comes along and surprises me. It's usually you! Not too shabby between your own two ears as well. Excellent and a Vote!
Cool idea! :-)
Very cool!!!!!
Definitely Escher-inspired and a wonderful tribute! Love your thoughts on the workings of his brain... :^
